The technical education department has cancelled the affiliation of 20 institutions with the State Council for Vocational Training (SCVT). The affiliation of five institutions with the National Council for Vocational Training (NCVT) has been suspended.

Disclosing this on Sunday, Punjab technical education and industrial training minister Anil Joshi said the department had reviewed the working of the art-and-craft teacher training institutions affiliated with the SCVT and found 20 lacking on many counts. "The admission to five NCVT institutions has also been barred," he said.
